Delete/Purging mysql-bin (binlog) files safely

by

The file mysql-bin.index keeps a list of all binary logs mysqld has generated and auto-rotated. The mechanisms for cleaning out the binlogs in conjunction with mysql-bin.index are:

PURGE BINARY LOGS TO ‘binlogname’;
PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE ‘datetimestamp’;

These will clear all binary logs before the binlog or timestamp you just specified. For example, if you login to mysql run

mysql> PURGE BINARY LOGS TO ‘mysql-bin.000223’;

this will erase all binary logs before ‘mysql-bin.000223’.

If you run

mysql> PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE DATE(NOW() – INTERVAL 3 DAY) + INTERVAL 0 SECOND;

this will erase all binary logs before midnight 3 days ago.

If you want to have binlog rotated away automatically and keep 3 days woth, simply set this:

mysql> SET GLOBAL expire_logs_days = 3;

then add this to /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
expire-logs-days=3

MySQL: Show Users, Privileges and Passwords

by

Show all MySQL users:

mysql> SELECT user FROM mysql.user;

List only unique user names:

mysql> SELECT DISTINCT user FROM mysql.user;

Show MySQL users and hosts they are allowed to connect from:

in MySQL 5.7 and higher:

mysql> SELECT host,user,authentication_string FROM mysql.user;

Show privileges granted to the current MySQL user:

mysql> SHOW GRANTS;

Show privileges granted to the MySQL user (if you don’t specify a host for the user name, MySQL assumes % as the host):

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user_name';

Show privileges granted to a particular MySQL user account from a given host:

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user_name'@'host';

– e.g. –

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'localhost';
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'%';
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'admin'@'192.168.0.1';
